Back in the day when men were real men, women were real women and small green furry things from Alpha Centauri were real small green furry things from Alpha Centauri people played the Dungeons and Dragons White Box. Now Wizards are allowing you to recapture those glory days.

Wizards of the Coast have released this premium edition reprint of the Original Dungeons and Dragons White Box, a must for any nostalgic collector.

In it you find all the original rules you needed to get started with the grandfather of fantasy role playing, as well as some supplements to help you along.

Volume 1: Men & Magic

Volume 2: Monsters & Treasure

Volume 3: Underworld & Wilderness Adventures

Supplement I: Greyhawk

Supplement II: Blackmoor

Supplement III: Eldritch Wizardry

Supplement IV: Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes

Other than new cover art, these are apparently faithful reproductions of the originals, all kept together in that swanky box.

Well it’s certainly aimed for collectors as the box seems to be made out of wood so there’s some justification for the price. If this will be available through Amazon at reduced price, I might actually get it as a gift for an old buddy of mine. Other than that no real interrest for me. It look really nice, tough.

I plan to get the 2nd edition AD&D reprints when they come out since my originals are from the late eighties and are in quite bad shape. Personally I’d like the Wizards to reprint the 2nd edition campaign settings, like Birthright and Planescape. Both which I missed the first time around.
